1801 Capped Bust Right Eagle, MS62
Popular BD-2 Variety

1801 $10 MS62 NGC. Breen-6843, BD-2, R.2. The majority of eagles produced in 1801 were of the present BD-2 variety, making the issue fairly easy to locate today. Type collectors are particularly fond of the BD-2 because of its availability in high grades. However, the type becomes quite scarce at the MS62 level. The present coin is a most attractive example, with prooflike surfaces and light, greenish-gold patina. The lower obverse stars on the right show a touch of softness at the centers, but all other devices are sharply delineated. Close inspection reveals the usual number of minor handling marks on both sides, but these are mostly overshadowed by the pleasing color and sharp detail of the central devices. Census: 64 in 62, 73 finer (6/10).
